Patent GB-2059713-A (GB)
Title: Video information transfer system
IPC: H04N9/808
Filed: 1980-07-21
Abstract: A system for transferring digital video information held on a digital recording medium (10) on to an analogue recording medium (16). The data is suitably formatted via buffer store (12) and serialiser (13) and passes (still in digital form) via processor (15) where analogue synchronising and possibly colour burst information is added prior to recording on the analogue recording medium. On play-back the analogue synchronising information is removed by separator (18) and following suitable signal shaping by converter (19) the digital data is made available after any required formatting via deserialiser (20) and buffer store (21). The digital recording medium can be a video disc (10) or a solid state store and the analogue storage medium can comprise a standard video tape recorder (16). Such a transfer system allows duplication or transportation of digital video information from one location to another. <IMAGE>
